The staff were super helpful! Our flight was delayed and already a late evening flight. I got in contact and they provided us a ride service (for a fee, worth it), and we were able to get to the hotel safe and sound. Great staff, great service, and a great breakfast!

First and foremost: it’s centrally located : museums and other sites, shops, restaurants are walking distance. Second: rooms are elegant and accommodating. Third: staff is professional, friendly and very accommodating: they kept my luggage so I could travel light on small plane from San Jose to Limon for a few days, so I didn’t have to rent a storage locker. Lastly, breakfast is served fresh, hot and delicious: Five out of five stars!!!!!

This hotel is in a convenient location, close to museums, central market, grocery stores and more. Included breakfast in restaurant in hotel was very good. For us, the only significant downside was our room was very small for two people with two pieces of luggage, backpacks, etc. and there was no window.

This is such a nice budget hotel with a good view from the top. Breakfast is included, and the typical Costa Rica breakfast is an option. You’ll notice wear and tear from the place being an older building, but nearly everything functioned fine. My only complaint is that the electrical outlets didn’t work in my room except for the one with the fridge. My friend’s outlets did. I had a phone-charging battery pack, so it didn’t matter to me. I imagine they’d be accommodating if that were to matter to you.

Check in was not as easy as one would expect. They make you fill out a check in form with pen and paper and leave your credit card details written down, just seems unsafe and time consuming. This should all be done electronically.

The property was clean and the staff were kind and helpful. However there was no parking. We had to park 5 blocks away. It was noisy. At 6am you could hear all the noises from the kitchen. I wasn’t able to get much sleep.

Perfect location. Friendly staff.
Our stay here was a last minute pick when a different reservation fell through - and it was the best thing that could have happened! Hotel Cultural is right in the middle of the downtown area and close to everything we wanted to see. The staff was very friendly, as was the waitress at the attached restaurant. The breakfast was decent and included. Our room at the back of the hotel didn't have windows, but was extremely quiet because of this (and in the middle of the city this is something special). I would definitely stay here again
